The Dolphins have opened contract talks with impending free agent DT Randy Starks and "made it clear" they want him back.The sides "aren't close" to a deal, but they have until March to hammer one out. Should the Fins not get Starks re-signed before the March 12 start of free agency, they could kick RE Jared Odrick inside to tackle and give Olivier Vernon a long look at end. Vernon posted 3.5 sacks in limited duty as a rookie.

Re: Yes!!!!!!

Part of me hopes they don't resign him so that Odrick will kick inside, forcing them to invest in a DE.

That would be optimal.

Either way Odrick better kick inside.

Why would signing Starks not make the Dolphins invest in a pass rushing DE. Odrick is solid, but he is not the impact pass rush DE the Dolphins need. He better inside with Randy on 3rd rushing from inside.

Re: Yes!!!!!!

Not sure if Tony Mac is a FA. But, I think I remember him being one. Let him walk and move Odrick inside to Rotate with Starks. Odrick's flexibility will be a good thing.

Re: Yes!!!!!! - Dolphins in Contract Talks with Starks

I hope we're able to work out a deal. Starks is a key piece of our interior line.

Tony McDaniel is a FA, and I agree about letting him walk. Sign Randy.
